How do I tell if my copy of Dry is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use PURE 10, PURE D10, RTD 121.1264.1) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, MPO PURE 10 A2 ANDY '92 and MPO PURE 10 B2. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
